Is That Supposed To Tell Me Something?

Thanks to TweetStats, I can do some completely unnecessary (but fun) metrics on my Twitter account. If you looked at the top five words I use on Twitter, namely:

good (13)

time (12)

weekend (9)

coffee (9)

damn (8)

you might assume that I have the Best Weekend Nightlife Ever and I continuously combat the after-effects of being hungover with caffeine while complaining about it. Sadly, that is not the case. I need not explain further.

It's actually kinda interesting to see how often I use certain words when constrained by just 140 characters. Is that supposed to tell me something? I could see some Ivy-league psychology department doing some research on the correlation between the frequency of words used on Twitter and academic standing -- or something like that. Sounds almost feasible.

Anyway, try it if you're on Twitter; it's a good way to waste even more time.
